Good afternoon everyone, I still have a cast on my right wrist, which makes typing trying at best. I went to the my Dr. yesterday and he removed the old cast for X-Rays. Wrist is healing but not there yet. He put another cast on for 3 more weeks. I have to say I am disappointed, I thought I would be getting a removable cast and would be able to return to work, drive so forth. He advised me to stop trying to use my hand and let it heal. Do you know how hard it is to do everything left handed? I have done okay but it has been a struggle.
I have improvised a way to crochet, but that moves very slowly. I had several projects I was working on and now they are delayed. very frustrating for me. I do a lot of things with my hands on a daily basics just like everyone else. I know I sound like I am complaining and I am, I just feel bad doing it. I know I still have it good considering all else that could be wrong.
I believe I have taken good health for granted. Not that I meant to do this it just happened. Until you are on the rough side of the fence you just don't think about what things could be like. I watched a video the other day about a man with no legs or arms that has managed to do more than I have ever even tried to do.
It is remarkable to see the things he has accomplished in his life. I admire someone who never gives up and always makes the best of a bad situation. As he said no two days are alike and every day brings new challenges for him. But he faces them head on with determination and pride.
His name is Nick Vujicic. Look him up on Google you will be amazed. After watching his video I was embarrassed I had even complained. I am thankful for what God has given me and the life I have.
My grandsons PJ and Devan are sweet and caring boys. We went to the Ft. Worth Zoo last Monday and had a great time. The day was great they enjoyed every minute of it. It is times like that I realize how good life can be. I am grateful they are healthy and doing so well. Well I guess I will close for now be back later until then stay happy!Kimyjo

2012 A GOOD YEAR
The year 2013 has started off well how can I say it but not good. I have been a little out of sorts for a bit. I Broke my right wrist on February 10. I was playing with my grandsons at the park. Mark was there helping with kid patrol. But unfortunately he was watching the boy's and not me. I decided to go down the twisted slide (big mistake). Don't know exactly what happened but I went down fast, and didn't have time to put my feet down to catch myself. Fell off the end and had my right hand connect first with the ground. I heard it pop but was hoping only a sprain.
We decided to go eat then took the boy's home. By then it had swollen very badly and was hurting. Mark took me to All Choice emergency room in Ft. Worth. Just as I feared it was broken. Dr. put a splint on and gave me a prescription for pain medicine. He said to follow up with a specialist in the morning.
I called Dr. Tobias, he took care of my left arm break back in July 2009. Scheduled appointment and went in Monday. He put me in a cast, said I would be out of commission for about 6 weeks. Not what I wanted to hear. Of course I am right handed so it is difficult to write or type. It will be a month in a few days so I hope it will be good news on my next visit to Dr. Tobias.
But back to 2012, a lot of good things happened this last year. My book is progressing very well. I have someone from work who is doing the editing and she has been great. I have managed to complete book one and I am on chapter 9 on the second book.
The book title is Mice of the Mausoleum. The 2nd book is Mystery in the Mausoleum. I am so excited to finally be making progress on getting them done. I will be searching for a publisher next. The books have been so much fun writing. This is something I have always wanted to do. The books are targeting age groups between 7 and 12 years old. My grandsons are ages 6 and 9 so they have enjoyed me reading the book to them.
Another reason 2012 was great I reconnected with a very special person. We started talking last June and haven't stopped. We had been out of touch for 7 long years. It has been wonderful getting to know him again and seeing how well we connect. The relationship is going great. What made me search for him was in January 2012 it had been 20 years since I had first met him. A lot has happened over those 20 years but he has always been in my heart. I am very glad to have found him again, it is like we never were apart those 7 years.
I will try to get back to my writing on a regular basis. I plan on adding a chapter from my book to See how it reads to others. I just have to get my self back in the habit of writing in my blog. I need to end this for now. Hope to talk to you again soon. Kimyjo
